Fit Girl Magic | Healthy Living For Women Over 40

If you have been following me for a while, or you are one of my magic makers, you know that my favorite part of the fit girl formula is ROUTINES!  When you create strong habits, they lead to amazing routines and those routines lead to consistency and it’s the consistency that finally gives us the results you have been seeking! And that is the ONE THING you are looking for, those RESULTS! Some routines are so elusive that we feel like we are chasing shadows most of the time and routines today are quickly looked upon as “boring”.  Our society was conditioned to want instant gratification.  Right now, RIGHT AWAY!  And this same thing goes for workouts.  We are conditioned to change things every single day, and if you do change then you are doing something right.  But it is in those routines that we do every day over and over again that is what is really going to lead to success.

I love talking about habits. It is seriously my jam and good habits are the foundation of consistency and getting results. But listen up, we are not a blockbuster movie, we are not going to to have everything solved at the end of the movie and you have hit this magical place, with a magical box, that has everything you have ever been waiting for. It doesn’t work that way. What it really is is a BUNCH of REALLY SMALL STEPS that are done over time that make the most impact on what you are trying to achieve! Habits turn into routines, routines turn into consistency and consistency helps get you to your results! So let’s start small with those habits to get you moving towards your results you have been working towards.

If you are like me, you have the patience of a gnat!  You want things when you want them, so you can just suck it patience.  When you hear patience is a virtue, you’re for everyone else BUT me!! Patience can help you get to that goal you have been struggling to reach, or make that lifestyle change you have wanted.  But first, we must BREAK UP with that Amazon Prime way of thinking! Your results will not arrive in 48 hours. LINKS: Facebook Page: Facebook Group: Website: Podcast:

We are living in ‘Rona times. We’ve been encouraged to stay home and isolate. Now is the best time to talk about how to make friends, AS AN ADULT!  Yup, I got to sit down with Gemma Scopes and she shared with us how to find new friends as an adult.  She was in her late 20s when all her friends were married, pair off or having babies. Gemma and her friends were in different phases of her life. She challenged to put herself out there and make some new friends. Sure it can be intimidating and a scary freaking world out there when it comes to finding new friends, but let me tell you, magic makers, you can totally do it!! YOU DON'T NEED TO BE LONELY!  Are you ready to make those new connections? Are you ready to make new friends and new relationships?  But how do you get there?  Where do you begin?

What is radical responsibility?  Does the sound of it make you cringe and not want to even go there?  Are you thinking that it’s not something you have to even think about, or it has nothing to do with? If you are stuck in life and feel like everything happens to you and you do not know why or you are constantly blaming everyone else but yourself for what happens to you, then you should take a listen my friend.  Are you actually embracing the responsibility or taking ownership for each and every circumstance that you face in your life, each and every day??  Maybe yes, Maybe no. When you begin taking radical responsibility you will start looking at your life in a whole new perspective!   Facebook Page: Facebook Group: Website: Podcast:   the work book radical responsibility Daring greatly brene brown   IG: andi_ruth Website:   Samanta Skelly

Whenever I bring up the topic of water and hydration, people are like OMG, I know, I know I need to drink more water!  And I always get the same excuses, it makes me pee too much, it doesn’t taste good, it doesn’t taste like a margarita, it doesn’t taste like my coffee!  I know I totally get that! I love my coffee too, but we NEED TO DRINK WATER! WATER IS LIFE!!  Like you literally need water to live…. But ultimately, the main reasons people tell me they don’t drink water is that they don’t have TIME TO DRINK WATER.  BUT no worries, I have filled this podcast with tips and tricks on how to improve your hydration!!!   LINKS:    the links stool chart the electrolytes   Facebook Page: Facebook Group: Website: Podcast:

When I started this podcast I wanted to talk about health and fitness, but I also need to TALK ABOUT LIFE stuff too!!  Today we’re talking about divorce. There are many of you listening to this podcast some of you are divorced, divorcing, considering divorce or wondering what life would be like if you chose a different path… And this is why I found the amazing and hilarious Marie Carmel,  she is the founder of The Unwed and helping women grow into their best selves and using divorce as a means to do so. It’s a community where women can come together, learn from one another, relate to one another and overcome divorce. Marie is divorced and a single mother of four. She’s sarcastic, down to earth and real. Loves whiskey, cinnamon rolls and peace and quiet. In her spare time (what does this even mean) she hikes, reads, crossfit and peruses dating apps but never actually goes on dates. Marie is the Founder of @the_unwed - a non profit that helps women recover from divorce. She’s passionate about helping women grow into their best selves and using divorce as a means so do so. You can find Marie on Instagram @the_unwed, LinkedIn and on her website where you can find more information about her courses as well as her private community!!
